Commotion on the tarmac.
That could be the title
From a new series of Science-Friction
Hollywood-style
Orchestrated by a Yankee sheriff
Self-proclaimed general for the occasion
A well-known expert on the American Civil War
A cowboy who tweets faster than his shadow
His henchmen are spreading terror on the tarmacs
In Search of Masks
To save his people
The last one to join the dance
A dance of death if ever there was one
But where no one holds
Not even the rhythmic footsteps
Nor the cards in the deck.
A Wild and Whimsical Adventure in Search of Masks
We divert other convoys
How Stagecoaches Were Hijacked
Back in the good old days of the conquest of the West
Modern B-movie spaghetti western
Where anything goes
We're engaging in shameful haggling
We're driving the bidding to the max
Billionaires Go Head-to-Head
We pay three times the price without fear of being found out
To get this new white or blue gold
Has become essential for survival
It doesn't matter if it comes from China
The key is to clear out other people's inventory
To Save What's Left
Uncle Sam's Sons, Recruited at the Last Minute
What we're witnessing is a real farce
Where the Masks Come Off
As people arrive
Airplanes from "China the Savior.".
Like the trains of the past
Airplanes sound their horns three times
To announce the windfall that fell from the sky
The other surprised protagonists
Because of the suddenness of the attack
Are tentatively organizing the resistance
To retrieve their belongings
In a rigged poker game
Impromptu on the tarmac
Who had never been to a party like this before
Not all of the key figures have been identified yet
But it's causing a stir in media circles
Every day brings its own set of challenges
More Outlandish Stories
From dragnet operations to raids and free-for-alls.
As the people of Martinique say
It's a real «mess.»
In fact, we rediscover our true self
The One Who Has Never Left Us
And which we will undoubtedly find again
See you at the next carnival.
